The negative consequences can be that there might be less juries in trials this will cause a slower process and more work.

If people decided to stop showing up to jury duty those being tried wouldn't get the fair trial by the people they deserve, but would rather be judged by government officials. It makes it unfair as the accused doesnt have a say in this decision, leaving out crucial perspectives or decisions from occurring.

If Americans don't fulfill their jury duty, there might be less juries to help a case. This might cause more work for cases to be solved and there would be less opinions being shared.

If Americans didn't do their jury duty, cases would not have sufficient jury members to have balanced perspectives. This could mean that court cases would have unfair trials or a slower process.

they won't have enough jury to have fair trial. This leads to less opinions and a higher chance of losing in court and slower trial.

A potential negative consequence of a citizen not fulfilling their civic duty might be that there would be less juries to help solve the case and also the person might have to attend more jury duty cases than they originally had to.

If an American decides not to do their civic duty there would have to be negative consequences, it could lead to being fined and it'll cause them to slow down

People not showing up to jury duty could get themselves in trouble and there wouldn't be enough juries for the case. Making the process of the trial even slower.

If people were to stop showing up to jury duty, those being tried in court wouldn't get the fair trial that they are guaranteed
